PatBB 10 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 In British Columbia it is a province-wide law: No Smoking in any public indoor space including bars & restaurants. So how about a cartoon where southbound smokers & the northbound Tim Curran & James Dale meet at the border, where Immigration Officers ask, "Why are you coming to our country?" "To go where fags are OK!" answer both groups. Link to post Share on other sites
acco40 95 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 For the slang impaired, mostly US citizens, "fags" is a slang term for cigarettes in many European and European influenced countries. PatBB, thanks for the chuckle! P.S. What is the definition of a Canadian? Ans: An American without a gun. How did Canada come up with it's name? A few were talking, pondering and imbibing about a good name and started by throwing out letters? How about a C, eh? N, eh? D, eh? And thus CaNaDa was created!(This message has been edited by acco40) Link to post Share on other sites
Bob White 20 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I am hopeful that the moderators will remove that post quickly. That has no place on a scouting forum. Link to post Share on other sites
PatBB 10 Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 BW believes that humor about a controversial event that happened to 2 Eagle Scouts has no place on a Scouting forum? Link to post Share on other sites
FScouter 24 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 It isn't funny at all. It's stupid. Link to post Share on other sites
CA_Scouter 11 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 The intent of the original post was clear. It was not humor, it was a tasteless attempt to provoke a response. I'm with BW and Fscouter on this one. Remove that post. Link to post Share on other sites
hacimsaalk12 10 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 i dont think there is any reason to remove it. i see nothing wrong with it. i thought it was funny. Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Well... it was tasteless and probably doesn't belong here, but the same could be said for a lot of posts I've seen on these forums. The very interesting thing about it however, is the underlying premise that makes it funny: morality is relative -- what's OK here is not OK there, and vice-versa. Link to post Share on other sites
rkfrance 11 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Morality might be relative, but I thought we were here to instill those principles by setting the standard, not living down to something less than what would be expected in the Scout Oath and Law. Tasteless jokes have no place in this forum or in Scouting. Take your humor home and don't come back. Link to post Share on other sites
